Legacy of Love
I met Dr. Desjamebra Robinson through Shamika Fusco. Dr. DJ spoke to us about her family history who has lived in Rochester for decades. Learning this, we decided to create a story that focused on the generational differences in Southwest Rochester. In order to understand the generational difference, we interviewed Dr. DJ’s grandmother, Mildred Cox, who now lives in Georgia and her daughter, KySjae Robinson who currently lives in Southwest Rochester.
Dr. Desjamebra Robinson, KySjae Robinson, and Mildred Cox take a selfie together.
KySjae Robinson currently lives in the home that belonged to her great Grandmother. The house was passed down to her mother, Dr. Desjamebra Robinson, who has been working to renovate it.
